What are the benefits of buying a used car from a private party?

The primary benefit of buying a used car from a private party concerns cost; these vehicles are typically less expensive than used cars sold via a dealership. Purchasing via a private party can usually allow you to get a clearer and more complete sense of a vehicle's background, service history, and repair history.For example, if this seller has been the car's only owner, you'll be able to find out if the car has been driven mainly on the highway or in the city. This is useful information to have, since city miles can be more damaging to a vehicle. You'll also be able to ask for service and repair records, and this will help you determine if the vehicle has been diligently maintained. Although, there are some owners that might withhold information in order to get more money for the car, so buyer beware.
